Klipsch vs Infinity

elizabeth

Infinity just killed the entire EMIM making.

True. they haven't made any in years.

Even when great replacement diaphragms were being made in Australia, The folks who bought out Infinity stopped them with patent infringement.

Absolutely not true, as verified by Graz, who makes the diaphragms.

I jinxed myself regarding service.....  my daughters graduation party was last night and my kids were streaming to the system.... my daughter who had a few too many sangrias went over and cranked it fully clockwise.  I immediately turned  it down but I lost a midrange ......    anyway the repair is simple, the driver comes apart easy and I hope to have the new diaphram in a few days....

I owned Klipsch Lascala horns and Infinity Rennasaince  90's which are ribbon/cone hybrids. There is no comparison. The  Infinitys demand a high power/high current amp. The Klipsch were driven easily with a 2 watt ,45 ,tube amp. As for sound. The Infinitys dissapeared in the room, leaving a holographic image of the music in the room, that I never heard from any speakers that were affordable to me. I know their are better, don't flame me, but I am just a working joe. 2 grand is about as far as I can stretch for speakers, so I buy used. The Klipsch were tremendously dynamic, had that "jump" factor out the ying yang, made instruments sound "real",but did not throw the holographic image that I love and crave. It all depends on what you like The ribbon mids and highs of the Infinitys, combined with solid ,tight bass of their Watkins woofers, are what sounded best to my ears. You and others may disagree. 
Happy Listening,

Those Infinitys are great speakers. But although they are planars, they aren't ribbons.
